It's been a day, have you found a source for those pictures of scrap metal yet? The same pictures of scrap metal that you were claiming was the wreckage of AA77 at the Pentagon?

You really are making yourself sound so dumb....titanium IS tough.. and lighter than steel....that is why it is used.
Unalloyed, pure titanium is very soft, with a Brinell hardness of ~100 (although the Rockwell "C" scale doesn't go down this far, if it did, the equivalent would be about 10-12 RC) and have a yield strength of ~150 MPa (compared with something like W1 steel which has a yield strength of ~1000-1500 MPa in hardened condition.) Based on this data, pure titanium is unsuitable for structural use.
Steel when hardened to RC 60 has tensile yield strength of 1,500 units/cross-sectional area (there are other more appropriate measures of strength for swords/knives, but we'll stick to tensile strength as an example), it also weighs 7,800 units per volume; an alpha-titanium alloy can be hardened to RC 40 and has yield strength of 850 units/cross-sectional-area and it weighs 4,500 units per volume

You show a picture of a bird strike on an engine's fragile "casing" which everyone knows is not what is being discussed here. Your argument is rediculous.

Defcon 5, you have avoided this post. Can you explain this engine's appearance with your "fragile engine theory"?

Why.......... if there was going to be a photoshop of the Pentagon strike, would it have been so indistinct? Why not a nice sharp one, like your offering?
Seriously, please do this. You showed a still from a bit different from what I was talking about. Go to your video, the unadorneded one you called video #2. Stop it at 25 seconds. The shadows clearly outline backward slanted wings. It IS a white object, cyclindrical, long, wide, even in the diminished perspective of the winky dinky camera. I think it's a plane. I lack the wherewithall to prove WHAT plane.

I never said I was looking for the source of those photos. After all, I only used two well known photos, that are all over the internet anyway.
Flight 255 began its takeoff rotation, but was never able to achieve liftoff and stalled as it tried to liftoff the runway. It rolled about 40 degrees to the left, [bold]struck a light pole near the end of the runway[/bold] with its left wing, struck the roof of a car rental building, and crashed into I-94 expressway, colliding with several motorists and light poles.-Wiki
Spreston-It is the exact same frame from the exact same photoshopped videos that were ordered released by a judge via FOIA lawsuit in 2006. There is no aircraft or missile there; just your imagination and some photoshopped blobs and a photoshopped heavy white smoke trail.
Originally posted by Swampfox46_1999 In addition, I do not accept this "camera" shot as proof. No chain of custody....no confirmation of any kind that it is an actual shot taken that day and not a photo shop job done with an internet photo at a later date.Source: ATS

Because whichever insider who 'leaked' the still frames back in 2002 totally screwed over the 9-11 perps, because they were not done photoshopping, and those key leaked frames prevented the 9-11 perps from further photoshopping the videos and adding a better clearer larger American Airlines 757 aircraft to the videos like this image below. Screwed.
Thank you Mr LEAKER.

As you can see, SPreston apparently has no idea where the plane actually impacted the Pentagon, or alternately no idea of the scales involved. It is truly mindboggling that anyone believes someone would fake a plane impact video but not even take the 30 seconds needed to calculate apparent size.
Various pieces of aircraft debris were found within the wreckage at the Pentagon. While evacuating the Navy Command Center, Lt. Kevin Shaeffer came across the aircraft's nose cone and landing gear in the service road between rings B and C.[63] Early in the morning on Friday, September 14, Fairfax County Urban Search and Rescue Team members and Brian Moravitz came across an "intact seat from the plane's cockpit",[64] while FBI and NTSB investigators located the two black boxes near the punch out hole in the A-E drive,[65] nearly 300 feet (91 m) into the building.[35] The cockpit voice recorder was too badly damaged and charred to retrieve any information,[66] though the flight data recorder yielded useful information.[31] In addition to aircraft debris, investigators also found a part of Nawaf al-Hazmi's identification card.[67] Personal effects belonging to passengers and office workers were also found, and taken to Fort Myer.[68]
Mark Willams: "When Williams discovered the scorched bodies of several airline passengers, they were still strapped into their seats. The stench of charred flesh overwhelmed him. 'It was the worst thing you can imagine,' said Williams, whose squad from Fort Belvoir, Va., entered the building, less than four hours after the terrorist attack. 'I wanted to cry from the minute I walked in. But I have soldiers under me and I had to put my feelings aside.'
